EMMA LUCY BRAUN Visitor and Friend at Pine Mountain Settlement

American Botanist, Ecologist, Conservationist

Emma Lucy Braun, while not a staff member of the Pine Mountain Settlement School, spent many hours in and around Pine Mountain Settlement School working on botanical and biological research associated with the forests and soils of the area. As a botanist, ecologist, and conservationist she was a trailblazer. Braun’s research in Ohio, Kentucky, and surrounding areas led to her ground-breaking work in plant ecology and to the development of plant ecology as an academic discipline.

Her mentoring of students and her work in the field with her students was uncommon for women faculty of her day and nearly as unusual as her choice of a profession for women of the time. As a disciplined and demanding professor at the University of Cincinnati, she reportedly had thirteen MA students and one PhD student during the time she was active on the faculty. Nine of these students were women. She is recognized as a pioneer for women enrolling in graduate work in the natural sciences.

EMMA LUCY BRAUN and Annette Frances Braun

Emma Lucy Braun was born in Cincinnati in 1889. She came from a family that shared an interest in geography, forest ecology, and botany. Both she and her older sister, Annette Frances Braun (1884–1978), were encouraged in their interests in the natural world by their parents and by each other. Her sister became a recognized entomologist, or more correctly, a microlepidopterist which is a very specific field that, as described by Wikipedia, is a study of moths — small moths.

… ‘smaller moths’ (micro, Lepidoptera). These generally have wingspans of under 20 mm, and are thus harder to identify by external phenotypic markings than macrolepidoptera.

The two scientists generally traveled together in the field and consulted closely across disciplines. As an expert in her field, Annette was often consulted for her knowledge of moths and shared her keen scientific interests with her sister, Lucy and Lucey shared her knowledge especially the importance of the habitats of the Lepidoptera. Sharing knowledge was a family endeavor. While they were children, the two young girls accompanied their parents for walks in the forest where they were expected to know the names of the wildflowers, insects, trees, and other forest life. This early introduction to forest ecology strongly shaped the careers of both women who then took their skills into their education-centered lives..

EMMA LUCY BRAUN: Her Extensive Scientific Record

The early immersion in nature ensured the two sisters were well-prepared for their later academic work. Both Lucy and Annette attended the University of Cincinnati. Lucy received her bachelor’s degree in 1910 and her Master’s in geology in 1912. Her PhD in Botany from the same institution was awarded in 1914. After receiving her undergraduate degree, Lucy was awarded a teaching assistantship. By 1927 she had advanced to associate professor of botany, a position she filled until 1946 when she advanced to full professor. She continued to teach for two more years and then retired to engage in more fieldwork. It was her fieldwork that captured the imagination of her colleagues and by the time of her retirement, she had created a legend in the field. For example, it was reported that, in total, she logged some 65,000 miles in her exploration of the deciduous forests of the Eastern United States, most of that in the company of her older sister, Annette, and most of that on foot.

Her publication record is as extensive as her walkabouts and an accounting of her publications follows this brief biography. She authored some 180 publications including articles and books. As founder of the Cincinnati chapter of the Wildflower Preservation Society, (an organization still active today), she also served as the editor of their journal. She is easily the authority for the vascular flora of Ohio and southeastern Kentucky and earned a reputation as one of the top ecologists in the United States. Most of her monographic publications came at the end of her life, but she continued to contribute to the literature in her field until she died in 1971 at the age of 81. Even late in her life, she continued her fieldwork tramping over the terrain of the southern Appalachians and was still leading field trips at the age of 80, one year before she died.

The extensive work that Braun completed was well-recognized by her colleagues as early as 1933 when she was elected as the first woman president of the Ohio Academy of Science. In 1950 the Ecological Society of America, the largest ecological association in the nation, honored her with the presidency of that organization. She was also responsible for furthering the land conservation movement. Her advocacy for land conservation in Ohio resulted in the preservation of some 10,000 acres and the land trust she established known as the Dr. Lucy Braun Memorial Fund and managed by the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History Museum. Today, her efforts continue to inspire and ensure the preservation and conservation of many of Ohio’s forests and the forests of Appalachia.

EMMA LUCY BRAUN: In Kentucky

In Kentucky Emma Lucy Braun has given her name to new species of plants and her careful exploration and surveys are seen in the comprehensive work, An Annotated Catalog of the Spermatophytes of Kentucky, published in 1943 and other publications. The length of her research studies set the model for analysis of the changes in plant systems over a specific period of time. Her vegetation science comparing the flora in particular geographic areas with the flora from a century earlier was so thorough that many today hold her model as unmatched. Further, she continues to influence the processes by which scientists analyze regional changes in flora over time.

Accompanied by her camera, Lucy Braun also left a visual record of the natural flora in the areas she visited. Her photographic work was an endeavor of increasing importance as climate change challenges many species and the photographic record becomes a key element in tracking change. Her photographs are supplemented by an extensive herbarium of some 11,891 specimens which she began to gather while she was in high school. Most of her photography and her herbarium are held by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Many photographs of eastern Kentucky may be found in her collected materials [Record Unit 7140] of the Smithsonian photograph collection. It was the interest in Braun’s collecting and her early friendship with Pine Mountain Settlement, particularly Katherine Pettit, that contributed to the later work of Mary Rogers and the early Environmental Education program at the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

On March 25, 1935, Braun was invited to speak to the Garden Club of Kentucky where she inspired the creation of the “Save Kentucky’s Primeval Forest League.” It was an idea that was also close to the interests of Katherine Pettit who had long fought against the rapid disappearance of Kentucky’s virgin forests. It was also topic of great concern to many other Pine Mountain Directors who fought to retain the nearby forests that, including Lilley Cornett Woods. Braun and Pettit both devoted considerable energy to save old forests and joined in the battle to save a 2,500-acre tract that was later successfully included in the Cumberland National Forest (now Daniel Boone National Forest). Lucy Braun, who was as adept as Pettit in bringing advocates on board, had made successful appeals to Alvin Barkley, Kentucky’s well-known senator, and A.B. Chandler, the Governor of Kentucky at the time, to get on board the ecological advocacy and back the acquisition of Kentucky’s unique primeval forests.

Nationally, Braun also attempted to enlist Eleanor Roosevelt and the U.S. Forest Service as advocates for the preservation of old-growth forests. In this effort, she was only partially successful over time. In the face of the growing timber and coal interests in Kentucky, she was out-shouted (though there is no record of Braun or Pettit shouting!) Further, the insult came when the Cumberland National Forest tract was eventually clear-cut, following the lack of concern shown by the U.S. Forest Service at the time. They claimed they could not intervene in the economic pursuit of the forest land and the difficulties of Save Kentucky’s Primeval Forest League that could not come to terms on a purchase agreement with the commercial entities.

The weight of adversaries was heavy. Yet, many of Braun’s ideas still managed to survive. In 1967 the prairie preserve she sought to establish became the 6,000-acre E. Lucy Braun-Lynx Prairie Preserve, a National Park Service site. And, in 1970 the Ohio Legislature passed a Natural Areas Bill and when it was joined with the establishment of the preserve, a major landmark was formed in Ohio. Located on the edge of Appalachia, it became the first Nature Conservancy preserve in Ohio.

Overall, physical or political obstacles were not deterrents for the Braun sisters, and especially Lucy Braun. Like other women environmentalists such as Rachel Carson, Edith Clements, Emmeline Moore, Margaret Nice, Minna Jewell, and the trailblazer, Rachel Carson , she had a growing audience of influential supporters. Carson, who in 1931, warned that “destruction of beauty and vandalism are the result of ignorance, thoughtlessness, or defiance of the law and the rights of others ” — all these women pioneer conservationists had received advanced degrees in the sciences before 1934. All had given their voice to the growing concern for the environment. Braun, one of the earliest of these concerned women, had warned,

“As a result of man’s continuing destruction of his natural environment by the plow, lumbering, urban sprawl and ever-enlarging highways, few natural habitats will remain shortly ...”

EMMA LUCY BRAUN: Talk for the Garden Club of Kentucky, 1935

An excerpt of her talk for the Garden Club of Kentucky on March 29, 1935, follows:

Down in the southern part of Perry County, on Lynn Fork of Leatherwood Creek, is one of the most beautiful tracts of virgin forest I have ever seen. For some time, I had heard of the Big Poplar of Perry County, and it was while on the quest for this that I saw this magnificent forest. It occupies the Left Fork of Lynn Fork, and for some two miles, we walked through untouched forest, following a faint trail which led to the Big Poplar, a gigantic tulip tree nearly 24 feet in circumference. It took five people with arms outstretched to reach around the tree. This gigantic trunk towered upward, unbranched, to such heights that it was impossible to distinguish the leaves of the crown. Nowhere east of California have I seen such a gigantic tree. And this was only one of many large trees. This forest contains a variety of trees — tulip poplar, oaks, beech, sugar maple, hemlock, all large. Often times we see tracts of so-called virgin forests, from which this or that tree has been removed or if the canopy is intact, with the undergrowth ruined by grazing or by rooting hogs; but not so here. Nothing had been disturbed; the luxuriance of the undergrowth is beyond description. There is a wealth of herbaceous plants, and beautiful wildflowers everywhere. The whole place is awe-inspiring in its beauty and grandeur . . . Very few virgin forest areas remain. Of the original forest of Kentucky, less than two percent remains in such conditions that it can be classified as old-growth; and only a small part of this is really virgin. The Lynn Fork is one of these . . . Nowhere in the whole world is there the equal in beauty and magnificence of our eastern deciduous forest. It is unexcelled. And in Kentucky and Tennessee, this deciduous forest reached its superlative development. By saving a piece of Kentucky’s virgin forest, you would be saving a forest outstanding of its kind . . . We must act quickly before its cut-the-timber rights are held by the Leatherwood Lumber Company, who are now cutting in the next branch . . . By all means, this project is worthy of your greatest effort. Nowhere, not even in the Great Smoky Mountains, have I seen a more beautiful forest or larger trees. Let us work together to save this area…

THE MULLINS FAMILY at Partridge, Kentucky

As a friend of Katherine Pettit, Lucy and her sister had an open invitation to stay at the School while completing their research in the area. They also stayed at the family home of Pine Mountain students Mable Mullins and David and Jack Martin at Patridge, Kentucky, at the headwaters of the Cumberland River, on the south side of the long Pine Mountain. Photographs from the Braun’s journeys into the Big Black Mountain and the Pine Mountain and views from the Mullins’ home can be found in the Lucy Braun Smithsonian Photograph Collection (1932-1940).

The Smithsonian Institution has graciously allowed Pine Mountain Settlement to reproduce some of those photographic records in this online essay.

Following the retirement of Katherine Pettit from Pine Mountain in 1931, both Brauns continued a lively correspondence with Pettit who shared many of their environmental concerns and their courage to be politically active. The “Save the Big Trees” campaign records in Pine Mountain Settlement School’s archive carry part of the record that Pettit and the two Braun sisters pushed forward during Pettit’s last years and the early years of environmentalism in Appalachia. Pine Mountain was an innovator for early efforts to address the growing environmental issues in Appalachia and the surrounding country. The growth of interest in Environmental Education at Pine Mountain Settlement School owes much to the early efforts of the Braun sisters and Katherine Pettit.
